Ninety-nine percent of the calcium in the human body is deposited in the bones and teeth, promoting their growth and development, and maintaining their form and hardness; l% exists in the blood and soft tissue cells, playing a role in regulating physiological functions.
The physiological role of calcium ions determines its importance to human life activities:
Calcium ions have an important role in blood coagulation. When calcium deficiency occurs, blood coagulation is impaired, and the human body will experience symptoms such as bleeding gums, subcutaneous bleeding spots, irregular uterine bleeding, excessive menstruation, blood in the urine, and vomiting blood.
Calcium ions play an important role in nerve and muscle excitation and nerve impulse conduction. When calcium is deficient, the human body experiences symptoms such as nerve conduction block and abnormal muscle tone.
Calcium ions play an important role in cell adhesion and the maintenance of cell membrane function. The cell membrane is not only a barrier for cell contents, but also a carrier for various essential nutrients and oxygen to enter the cell. Normal levels of calcium ions ensure that the cell membrane can smoothly "pump" nutrients into the cell.
Calcium ions have an activating effect on enzyme reactions in the human body. As we all know, the enzyme is the catalyst for the metabolic process of various substances in the human body, is an important life substance, calcium deficiency will affect the normal physiological metabolic process.
Calcium ions have a decisive role in the secretion of hormones of endocrine glands in the human body, and are essential for the maintenance of circulatory, respiratory, digestive, urinary, neurological, endocrine, reproductive and other systems and organs.
In short, calcium is an indispensable trace element of the human body, which is both the body builder and regulator of the body, and is the source of life of our body.
